(1).  This section applies to the acquisition and purchase of rights in a controllable account or controllable payment intangible, including the rights and benefits under subsections (3), (4), (5), (6) and (7) of a purchaser and qualifying purchaser, in the same manner as this section applies to a controllable electronic record.

(2).  To determine whether a purchaser of a controllable account or a controllable payment intangible is a qualifying purchaser, the purchaser obtains control of the account or payment intangible if it obtains control of the controllable electronic record that evidences the account or payment intangible.

(3).  Except as provided in this section, law other than this Article determines whether a person acquires a right in a controllable electronic record and the right the person acquires.

(5).  A qualifying purchaser acquires its rights in a controllable electronic record free of a claim of a property right in the controllable electronic record.

(6).  Except as provided in subsections (1) and (5) for a controllable account and a controllable payment intangible or law other than this Article, a qualifying purchaser takes a right to payment, right to performance or other interest in property evidenced by the controllable electronic record subject to a claim of a property right in the right to payment, right to performance or other interest in property.

(7).  An action may not be asserted against a qualifying purchaser based on both a purchase by the qualifying purchaser of a controllable electronic record and a claim of a property right in another controllable electronic record, whether the action is framed in conversion, replevin, constructive trust, equitable lien or other theory.

(8).  Filing of a financing statement under Article 9‑A is not notice of a claim of a property right in a controllable electronic record.
